A lack of coordination between muscles or body parts that should work together smoothly, often caused by neurological damage.
From Greek 'dys-' (bad/difficult) + 'syn-' (together) + 'ergon' (work). This neurological term describes when muscles fail to coordinate properly in their work together.
Cerebellar damage is a classic cause of dyssynergia—imagine your brain knows what you want to do, but your muscles aren't getting the timing memo, so a simple action like touching your nose becomes surprisingly difficult.
